Facebook has axed five of its features in a major overhaul of its services as the social media giant moves to take an axe to poorly performing items.
Meta, Facebook’s parent company, confirmed they will be axing several services including background location, location history, weather alerts, podcasts and nearby friends, which will be unavailable after May 31.
The social media giant is cutting the five services due to “low usage” after sending a notification to users who have previously used the services.
Podcasts will no longer be available on Facebook, a year after they launched, as the company develops other services.
The company said it will stop with its short-form audio product Soundbites and will axe its central audio hub.
